In this case, condensation water is easily formed on a leeward side of a lower air deflector support, i.e., on a lower side surface and a front end surface of the support, and water start to drop continuously 2 to 3 hours after the air conditioner turns on, which may cause damage to floor or other objects in a user's house and affect quality of the air conditioner.
- The main objective of the present disclosure is to provide an air outlet structure and an air conditioner having the same to solve a problem that the air deflector of the air outlet structure in the prior art is not easily opened or closed.
- In order to achieve the above objective, according to one aspect of the present disclosure, an air outlet structure is provided, and the air outlet structure includes: an air outlet portion body having an air outlet; an air deflector support connected to the air outlet portion body and provided at a lower portion of the air outlet; and an air deflector rotatably provided on the air deflector support.
- Further, the air outlet portion body is provided with a flow guiding channel; the flow guiding channel is in communication with the air outlet; and the air deflector support is connected to a channel wall of the flow guiding channel.
- Further, the flow guiding channel is a groove.
